Panel SessionThe Changing Nature of Feature Interaction

Chair: Ken Turner

Questions put forward to the panellists (and all participants) include: Is feature interaction meaningful in modern communications systems such as web services or are these rendering FI obsolete? Will feature interaction be replaced by new concepts such as policy conflict or should it be replaced by service creation and analysis? How will new techniques such as model-driven architecture and aspect-oriented programming alter the perception of features?
